Fictional Reports A Study on the Semantics of Fictional Names
Theoria: Revista de Teoría, Historia y Fundamentos de la Ciencia 25 (2):175-185 (2010)
Abstract
Against standard descriptivist and referentialist semantics for fictional reports, I will defend a view according to which fictional names do not refer yet they can be distinguished from one another in virtue of their different name-using practices. The logical structures of sentences containing fictional names inherit these distinctions. Different interpretations follow.Author's Profile
